Youth Appointment to the Town’s Public Art Advisory Commission

Approve the Youth Commissioner appointment of Fionah Thompson to serve on the Public Art Advisory Commission.

On February 4, 2015, the Windsor Town Council established a Public Art Advisory Commission to serve in an advisory capacity to the Town Council for the purpose of planning and development of various forms of art and culture throughout the Windsor community.

The Public Art Advisory Commission is a standing citizen advisory committee composed of seven (7) adult Commissioners and two (2) youth Commissioners (grades 11th and 12th). Each Councilmember appoints an adult Commissioner for a four-year term coinciding with that of the Councilmember making the appointment, for a total five (5) seats. To be eligible for appointment to the Commission, one must be a resident of the Town of Windsor. The sixth seat is one member at-large appointed by the Town Council, who sits on the Town Council, and represents the Town Council on the Commission. The seventh seat is a one member at-large appointment, represented by a member on the Parks and Recreation Commission.

In September, the Town advertised for two (2) open Youth Commission seats on the Public Art Advisory Commission, following the term expiration of both seats. Youth Commission seats typically serve a one-year term expiring in June (end of the school year).

The recruitments to fill the vacant seat was advertised to encourage submissions of applications. The deadline for submittal of applications remained open until filled. One application was received from: Fionah Thompson. With approval of the youth appointment, Fionah Thompson will serve on the Town's Public Art Advisory Commission through June 2027.

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this item.
